Tonight, I will be flying on an airplane, all by myself. For the first time. I've always flown with my family, and this summer I went on a trip with my brother in a group, so I'm very comfortable with flying. But I've never gone by myself. I feel so grown up :] I'll be flying home from the Redding airport to San Francisco, switching planes and then flying to the San Luis Obispo airport. I am so blessed that my parents were willing to pay for the tickets- I honestly wasn't sure if they were going to do that or not. The reason I am going is because tomorrow morning is my grandpa's funeral tomorrow [my mom's stepdad].
I went home for Thanksgiving break last Tuesday evening. I felt so disoriented being in my room.... I don't know how else to explain it. The next day my family and Rich drove down to Disneyland so we could enjoy the park for Thanksgiving Day. Although I didn't quite get all the rest that I wanted, I enjoyed the company of my family, which I haven't done for the past three months. And it was strange to drive back up to Simpson again and start school again. Yet, it felt so normal to be back, like my new home is here.
I did get to ride my horse last Saturday. I am looking forward to riding again this weekend as well :]
